About Me

Hello,

I'm Konstantin Kiriakov, a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and illustrator living in Ottawa, Canada. In 2014 I graduated from Concordia University with distinction, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Film Animation and a minor in Film Studies.

My work focuses primarily on illustration, and visual-development. In essence, I create fresh and intriguing visual worlds in the entertainment industry. As a freelance artist, I have produced work in Television and Film for clients like Mercury Filmworks, Jam Filled, Disney, Mattel and National Geographic.
